-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

If other ethnic groups can get their day or their month in Michigan, why can’t the Dutch?

Also shown here is the representstive in a litteral Dutch Heratige parade car during Tulip Time celebrating the coming of spring and Holland 🇳🇱 Dutch "heritage" of colonizing the Odawa Indian lands.

That question has compelled State House 85th District Representative Brad Slagh to introduced a resolution that would declare November as Dutch Heritage Month in the state.

The third-term Republican from Zeeland Township went to a pending Historical Society of Michigan State History Award winner to get some help in backing this proposal.

Dr. Swierenga will receive this SHA honor at the 150th annual meeting and Michigan History Conference in St. Joseph this coming Friday for his book, “AC Van Raalte: Pastor by Vocation, Entrepreneur by Necessity,” which the HSM considered “the definitive biography of this towering figure in Michigan history.”

Slagh is a member of the Legislature’s Dutch Caucus, and this House Bill 5943 should be formally introduced this week.

The only way to make that a little bit less embarrassing would be to create safe pedestrian and bike infrastructure during that month.
